Lazy River
Tony DeSare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger a while in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream of me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Greets the mornin' as we roll along
There'll be blue skies above, everyone's in love
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
There's a lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger for a while in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles baby, dream a dream of me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Greets the bright new mornin' where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above, everyone's in love
Up a lazy river how happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Greets a bright new mornin' where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above but as long as we're in love
We'll be up a lazy river, up the crazy, lazy, river
Up a lazy river
I ain't goin' your way, get out of my way
Up a lazy river with me

Hi Tony. You are the only person who can help me remember a song that well, you have sung. It was beautiful. I loved it and still love it. I just remember how it made me feel. I actually saw you perform it live in the restaurant of hotel in NYC. Which brings me to the only hint I can provide. It was before your last first kiss album. I believe it was a promotional cd only. I can't find it, nor can I remember the name. Clues? Thank you so much if you get this and even if you don't. :)
